    Only time I see damage like that is when a cam goes out of time, over speed causing valve floating, smacking the pistons.

    I replaced an ISB Cummins in a machine a few years ago. They claim overspeed from a failed turbo caused it to throw a rod right through the block and into the fuel pump. There were beach marks 3/4s of the way through on one of that rod's cap bolts though. So either way that engine was on borrowed time IMO.

    My road test route usually involved a lap around the tailings pond. I have flown enough to say
    1. Regular cabs land rear axle first
    2. Crew cabs land front axle first
    3. Extend cabs land just right. All 4 wheels simultaneously

    The scary thing is, he probably isn't lying. I used to work in the same area he did.

    Block heater cord shorted out earlier this year, luckily able to move another one away to stop the spread. KIMG2411.JPG
    Some MX13 EPA 17 parts if you need them, been slightly heated

    We referred to those as thermal events.

    Sometimes very difficult to determine root cause.
